But the chestnut horse seemed to be divinely inspired, 4, 3, 2, and finally, at the moment it crossed the line, it overtook the Bull Demon King.
That was the last 100 meters. With his whirlwind kick going all out, he overcame all obstacles and won first place.
Mr. Dong won.
He turned around to hug A Yuan, but Grandpa Er grabbed him and wouldn't give it to him.
Mr. Dong raised his fists and charged out alone, joining the cheering crowd in the jubilation.
He was too impulsive. The whirlwind kick was his prized horse. He won first place, and reporters would take pictures of him.
If we were to film Ah Yuan along the way, wouldn't that be handing the kidnappers a free kill?
Of course, Ah Yuan insisted on choosing the Whirlwind Kick, and the Whirlwind Kick won the championship, so Master Er felt that Ah Yuan was an extraordinary kid.
We should ask him why he thinks number 9 can win the championship, and how he came to that conclusion.
Ah Yuan was very honest. Pointing to his eyes, he said, "Number 9, super fierce."
Brother Liang wanted to save face for the big boss, so he said with a smile, "Father, Young Master Nie is very lucky. His words are like gold. The Whirlwind Leg team got lucky today because of him. Otherwise, our Bull Demon King would have been the champion."
Master Er waved his hand: "No."
Just then, a montage of the previous scene was played on the big screen. He pointed at it and said, "The kid is right. The Bull Demon King isn't in good shape today. Look at his eyes; they're clearly not as bright as when he used his Whirlwind Kick. Go ask the jockey. He might be feeling unwell today and not in good spirits, but the jockey just hasn't noticed."
Looking at A Yuan again, he couldn't help but laugh: "You little rascal, you have a discerning eye."
He was young and didn't understand horse racing, but he was Chen Rou's son after all, and naturally, he liked the strongest horses.
The most direct way to tell if a horse is strong enough and has enough fighting power is to look at its eyes.
Dong Ye had been howling for a while, and only now did he calm down. But just as he was about to say something, Chen Rou pinched him again.
He originally intended to make sarcastic or teasing remarks about his grandfather, but with his granddaughter present, he didn't dare.
There's a tea restaurant right here, and the two of them had agreed that whoever won would treat everyone. It's almost seven o'clock now, so it's time to go eat.
After the crowd had mostly dispersed, the two old men wanted to accompany A-Yuan to see the horses.
But while the kids are undeniably adorable, it's also true that we don't have much time to spend with them. A-Yuan came with his father today; his father is going to take him to see the horses, and they've already arranged the time and are leaving soon.
It was inconvenient for the two groups of guests to meet. Besides, Master Dong and Master Er met halfway through the trip, and they both wished that A Yuan could be with them every day and every moment. But that was impossible; children always stay with their parents.
Master Er said first, "You guys go ahead with your work. Come over on a certain day. I'll book the whole place and let A Yuan watch my horses."
Mr. Dong's arm is still sore from being pinched twice by Chen Rou.
But he also said, "Tomorrow, there are no races tomorrow. When A Yuan comes, my father-in-law will let the whirlwind kick run just for A Yuan to see."
For Yu Ayuan, once he leaves home, he's willing to go with whoever he sees.
The old man said he would give him the chestnut horse, but does that count? Can he keep it at home like a fish or a tricycle, so he can ride it every day?
Thinking about this, and then about having to go back, he started to pout again, feeling unhappy.
He couldn't wait to get his hands on that little spiky red horse.
Putting aside his ulterior motives, Chen Rou returned to the VIP room where Nie Zhao was. Seeing that Inspector Gu was not there, and Nie Zhao frowning, seemingly unhappy, she sat down next to him and asked, "Where is Inspector Gu? Has he already left?"
Nie Zhao frowned for a moment, then turned back and said with a smile, "Let's look at the horses first, and then have dinner."
There was still an awards ceremony going on inside, and people hadn't left yet.
However, the racehorses have already returned to their stalls, and not only are there local Hong Kong horses, but also several racehorses that came specifically from Japan to compete. They will leave as soon as the race is over, so it's a good time to go now.
The couple left the private room with their son. The vice chairman of the horse racing association was waiting for them and accompanied Nie Zhao through a special passage to the horse stalls on the first floor.
Chen Rou could sense that Inspector Gu had just discussed a business-related and crucial matter with him, which was probably quite troublesome. That's why Nie Zhao had been frowning the whole time, clearly looking unhappy.
There are people around right now, so it's not convenient to ask.
But when Chen Rou recalled her past life, she discovered that the Ocean Shipping Company's business was eventually taken over by the Nie family.
Moreover, even when Nie Zhao came to her because of his two nephews' betrayal, the ocean shipping business was still in Nie's hands. Anyone who did subleasing business through him could become a big shot by doing so.
In other words, when the British troops left, the ports and ships they left behind, along with their licenses, would all belong to them.
What could be causing Boss Nie to be so sullen and with his brows furrowed?
After thinking for a moment, she reached out and hooked Nie Zhao's little finger with hers.
She worries about him and wants to support him. Of course, when she needs to know about the difficulties he is facing, she will secretly hook his finger. The last time she hooked his finger like that was on Lantau Island, at Lin Wah Temple, in the same scene as now.
Nie Zhao turned his head to look at his wife, smiled, and then hooked his finger back at her.
Clearly, the unspoken understanding remained; he understood her thoughts.
The association's vice chairman led Nie Zhao and his wife directly to the basement.
As soon as the elevator door opened, A-Yuan immediately said, "Oh no, the baby's pooped!"
Actually, it's because there are so many horses here that there's a horsey smell.
Not far away was the place where the foreign horses were taking a bath to cool off. At this moment, a jockey led over a pure white Arabian horse. When he saw the vice chairman of the association, he stopped and reined in his horse.
